So my background, I just finished my first year at top 20 university. I took Gen Chem during the whole year and Orgo I during the spring semester. I AP-ed out of biology, so the last time I took biology was 4 years ago, freshman year of high school. I didn't take Orgo II or Biology in college, which just goes to show, if you study the right things, you can do it.
I studied for about a month, but I also had a 5 day vacation, church retreat, and various functions.
I started reviewing a bit of biology (read through my old Princeton Review AP Bio book) before the month though. During the month I studied with:
DAT Destroyer (9/10)
MATH Destroyer (10/10)
Ferallis Notes (11/10)
KBB Biology (6/10)
CHAD Videos/Quizzes (9/10)
Biology (25)
As I've said, it's been a while since I took biology. Reading over an AP book gave me a good overview before I started practice tests. I only went through DAT Destroyer Biology once, but I took notes over everything I didn't fully know or understand in all the answer choices and answer key. That definitely helped. Feralis notes. Oh my goodness, I cannot speak well enough about these notes. I read over them twice. It takes forever, but it really is an awesome set of notes. I finished reading the second time about 5 days before my test and didn't touch it afterwards.
General Chemistry (28)
I just finished a full year of gen chem at a good university. But the highest I was getting on practice tests was like a 22... So I'm ecstatic about a 28. This is crazy. It was definitely easier than I thought it was going to be. The calculations were easier than what I practiced with. I went through DAT Destroyer General Chemistry once. I also used the Chad Quizzes to make sure I knew the topics. I was done with Gen Chem, so I didn't watch the videos unless I had no idea. I watched like two Chad Videos.
Organic Chemistry (22)
To be completely honest, I am so thankful for this score. I was getting 18's on practice tests up until the last ones I took (3-4 days before my real test). This section was easier than I expected. I went through Chad Videos twice and took notes both times. The first set of notes were just so I could pay attention. The second set were the good set of notes I used to review later. I also reviewed all of the Organic Chemistry Chad Quizzes the day before my test. It really helped.
PAT (20)
I don't have any advice. I got 19's and 20's on most of my practice tests on Kaplan, which is way easier than the real thing. I only used Kaplan and... I really didn't care for this part of the test. The schools I want to attend don't really focus on PAT, so I didn't spend much time on it (I actually never reviewed the questions I missed on my practice tests... y'all probably should).
Reading Comprehension (23)
I guess I did a version of Search and Destroy. I'm a fast reader, so I skimmed through it and just answered the easy questions. I just got lucky. Two of my passages were 13 paragraphs and the other was 7. I didn't practice this section besides the practice tests I took.
Qualitative Reasoning (24)
To be honest, I was hoping to do a bit better. I got mostly 24's on my practice tests and Math Destroyer. I went through the first four tests of Math Destroyer once. I didn't really practice this section.
